Remarkable! Most people don't realize how tough these coins are in mint state. They come fairly nice if you can find onme but very few are as...
I just don't know. But I do know that these are four layers of plastic with two on each side of the coin. The two inner layers are very very...
Wear on a coin always starts on the high points. If you tip the coin sideways you can see these high points up above the coin surface. This is...
These are striking characteristics rather than true errors. Apparently the dies were plugged up with a little debris in a few of the letters....
I should mention that the 40% silver halfs are usually the first coin to get hazy. These tend to be more difficult to restore too.
This is most unusual. I've not seen a '68 penny without carbon spots in many years in the mint set packaging. 95% of these are just terrible...
Look at enough mint sets and you'll see these delaminate. I think it's usually caused by exposure to acidic enviroments but am not sure. If you...
These sets are composed of four layers of plastic and the inner two contain plasticizer. This was especially bad on the '68 and '69 sets but...
Russian coinage was extremely lightly saved and the mint sets were widely dispersed and suffered very high attrition. Dealers often cut these...
The inside of the cellophane is lined with PVC and this is not a stable enviroment for coins. If you'll look closer at the '68 cent you'llsee it...
This is pretty common on the '60-P but far more common on the '60-D.
It's not a rare one. Comparable telephone tokens generally go for a dollar or two. There are very few telephone token collectors so even...
This is a relatively common error like two Denver quarters in a '69 set. Someone might have an interest in it but don't expect a large premium.
His problems were insignificant compared to his potential. He'll be missed. RIP
I believe every single '68-S cent still in mint set packaging has carbon spots now. 95% of them are ugly from all the corrosion so you're very...
I'm mostly looking at quarters but I check everything that comes my way and do go through dime rolls sometimes. I'm looking for gem and...
The heavily worn ones can be worth a substantial premium if the wear appears to be natural. I've seen the '45 to '85 one before. There must...
If they were actually gem you'd be in good shape. They aren't.
If it's a sealed bag then it's probably a solid date BU bag. Somebody recently opened up a bag of 1977 Ikes and found a couple dozen in high...
Nice. This is a tough date and there are lots of others as well.
